The title really says it all, but I’m self hosting world of Warcraft wrath of the lich king.
I’m just so shocked that it all works to be honest. It’s blowing my mind still.
I always want to play classic wow, but I play so infrequently that it’s not worth paying a subscription.
It never really occurred to me that I could just host my own server until chatgpt recommended that when I was researching things to self hosting.
It’s not public yet as my upload speeds are too slow.
I think I’m going to set the server up on my laptop so I can play wow while on my 14 hour flight coming up.
I’ve always played the game solo anyway due to my casualness.
I did it like 10 or so years back? It was pretty easy to be completely honest and didn’t require too many resources, at least not if you’re the only one using the server. You just run the server locally and then use the client to connect to that server. That’s basically it.
And no, the game comes with all the quests and everything, you don’t need to really do anything else. The downsides is that you’ll be locked out of a bunch of content like dungeons and raids since those require groups of 5 or more players.
I have read that modern servers have np. Bots you can add so you can do dungeons and stuff. I haven’t tried myself. Would love to find a guide on how to set up a Linux host.
